Largemouth Bass
Monroe, South Dakota, might not be the first place that comes to mind for bass fishing, but its smaller lakes and impoundments offer surprisingly good largemouth action. Look to lakes like Lake Monroe for your best bet. These waters often have healthy weed growth and submerged structure, providing ideal habitat for bass. Spring and early summer are excellent times to fish, as the bass are actively feeding and spawning. Topwater lures, spinnerbaits, and shallow-diving crankbaits are effective during this period. As the water warms, switch to fishing deeper with jigs or Texas-rigged plastics. Public access is generally good, but be sure to check local regulations regarding boat ramps and horsepower restrictions. These smaller waters can warm up quickly in the summer, so focus on fishing early and late in the day for the most consistent action.
